Thank God I managed to miss all that.
YouTube is broadcasting the whole thing widely -- I was showing my husband
some of the creative things individuals have done -- including cool stop-motion
videos .
When I saw that the top .....couple dozen?....videos were of the execution I
felt ill. I closed the site out.
Either it's important (in which case treating it as Vaudeville is entirely
inappropriate), or it's not (in which case "we" should never have been there in
the first place), or (most likely) there are more people with prurient
interests in the morbid and vulgar than I want to acknowledge or admit.

No I was commenting on the INANE comments that dozens of people were
making in the two hours before the inevitable and the hour after it.
They were just rambling on and on. The guy who witnessed the
execution -- apparently Saddam's friend -- said "it worked very
nicely" about the noose. Larry King asked Anderson Pooper "Do you
think this is rather Ghoulish?". The guy with no hand {weiskopf?} on
Anderson Cooper's show was spewing unbelievable non-sequiturs and
nonsense. I guffawed at least 12 times in three hours and I'm not a
sicko. The things these turds were saying were that ridiculous. They
were talking to talk. And AC's mock sincerity was absolutely
hilarious. It was REALLY like a parody of itself.
